Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I have never used google groups before and am so impressed with how helpful you all are. It is also lovely that none of you mock my little knowledge of Python but just want to improve it.
I have another question in relation to the izip_longest function (I persume this should be within the same topic). Using this funciton, is there a way to manipulate it so that the columns can be formated tabular i.e. perhaps using something such as str(list).rjust(15) because currently the columns overlap depending on the strings lengths within each column/list of lists. i.e. my output is currently like: bo, daf, da pres, ppar, xppc magnjklep, *, dsa *, *, nbi But I want it justified, i.e: bo , daf, da pres , ppar, xppc magnjklep, *, dsa * , *, nbi I am struggling to understand how the izip_longest function works and thus don't really know how it could be manipulated to do the above. It would be much apprecited if somoene could also explain how izip_function works as I don't like adding code into my programs which I struggle to understand. Or perhaps I have to pad out the lists when storing the Strings? Any help would be much appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
